I am experimenting around with the FMBIOS. Someone has send me all the documentation required to get it to work and after in depth reading I have come to understand it to reasonable portions. I would like to use this tread to get more opinions and information on this subject and to be consuming up less time for those currently helping me on the subject. I believe that future results may be helpfull for those who wish to develop for MSX so this subject might be usefull.
I need to start with some kind of test setup and for this I first need some way to produce the files that can be played by the FMBIOS. I could build a ROM that finds and plays these binary files but creating MIDI to Binary converters goes way over my league. Are there tools exsistant or simple ways to convert for example MIDI to the FMBIOS binaries?
Has someone a simple example file for me that I can try to at least play from my test setup?
Mind that I am still in the big planning phase. I do not know how the player will loop through the file. If i want for example the first pattern is never repeated again after playing starts. Can the FMBIOS be commanded to do the same?
Anyone used this in their projects as well? What are the experiences? etc etc.
